Injury Prevention Research Training in Egypt

作为我们之前在小Charles MCC Mathias进行的伤害预防研究工作的继续。在R Adams Cowley休克创伤中心的国家创伤和紧急医疗服务研究中心和创伤复苏方面，包括与创伤性脑损伤相关的损伤方面，再加上我们与流行病和预防医学部国际卫生司在埃及成功开展跨学科合作项目的25年历史，我们这项工作的目标将分为四个方面。首先，我们将向流行病学家和其他公共卫生专业人员传授基本和高级流行病学技能，以加强埃及境内可持续的人类创伤和伤害研究；其次，我们将发展和扩大本国在院前和紧急情况准备方面的能力和专门知识；第三，我们将培训一支创伤专家和急诊医生队伍，教他们如何使用创伤复苏、复苏研究以及如何收集有关复苏的数据的最先进的方法；第四，我们将与血液学家合作，继续发展血库和输血医学。我们不断的努力和教学经验的结合将使我们能够帮助埃及卫生和人口部和其他埃及卫生专业人员增加他们对人类创伤和伤害预防的知识和理解，并将这些知识应用于公共卫生实践，以减少伤害造成的显著发病率和死亡率。我们的具体目标是：1)制定国内教育计划，传授可持续的伤害预防技能，建设研究人类创伤和伤害预防的能力；2)在埃及创建国际紧急研究中心计划，其使命将是研究创伤的原因、动态、治疗和结果，并应用这些知识来减轻伤害负担；3)为埃及卫生专业人员提供有指导的培训机会。考虑到马里兰大学的专业知识深度，我们有一个理想的环境来合作这些教育努力。马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校的国际公认的伤害预防研究和创伤复苏实践与我们与埃及卫生专业人员的密切工作关系相结合，为制定伤害预防和应对培训计划提供了出色的框架。拟议中的合作将为培训提供环境，以进行关于创伤、伤害和血库的高质量研究，如果埃及要发展专门知识以减少每年数千人创伤伤亡造成的破坏性影响，这些研究是必不可少的。

As a continuation of our previous work in injury prevention research at the Charles McC Mathias, Jr. National Study Center for Trauma and Emergency Medical Services and in trauma resuscitation, including injuries related to traumatic brain injuries, at R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, along with our 25-year history of successful collaborative, transdisciplinary projects in Egypt with the Division of International Health in the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, our goals for this work will fall into four areas. First, we will teach basic and advanced epidemiological skills to epidemiologists and other public health professionals to strengthen sustainable human trauma and injury research within Egypt; second, we will develop and expand in-country capacity and expertise for prehospital and emergency preparedness; third, we will train a cadre of traumatologists and emergency physicians in the use of the most sophisticated, currently available methodologies in trauma resuscitation, resuscitation research and how to gather data about resuscitation; and fourth, we will collaborate with hematologists in the continuing development of blood banking and transfusion medicine. The combination of our ongoing efforts and teaching experience will allow us to help the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population and other Egyptian health professionals increase their knowledge and understanding of human trauma and injury prevention and apply this knowledge in public health practice to decrease the significant morbidity and mortality caused by injuries. Our specific aims are: 1) to develop in-country educational programs to teach sustainable injury prevention skills that build capacity to research human trauma and injury prevention, 2) to create the Program for International Emergency Research Center in Egypt, whose mission will be to study the causes, dynamics, treatments, and outcomes of traumatic injury and to apply this knowledge to decrease the burden of injuries, and 3) to provide mentored training opportunities for Egyptian Health Professionals. Considering the depth of expertise available at the University of Maryland, we have an ideal environment to collaborate on these educational efforts. The combination of University of Maryland, Baltimore's internationally recognized injury prevention research and trauma resuscitation practices in conjunction with our close working relationship with Egyptian health professionals provides an outstanding framework for the development of an injury prevention and response training program. The proposed collaboration will provide the setting for training to conduct high quality research on trauma, injury, and blood banking, research that is essential if Egypt is to develop the expertise to reduce the devastating impact caused by thousands of annual traumatic injuries and deaths.
